The meetings will be held in the assembly room at the Millcreek Municipal Building, 3608 W. 26th St.

The unpaid commission held its organizational meeting Monday after being sworn into office by District Judge Sue Strohmeyer, whose district includes east Millcreek.

The panel named Joann Mullen as its chairwoman, Jason Owen as vice chairman, Robert Praetzel as secretary and Douglas Prozan as treasurer, Vollbrecht said. The other three members are William Lamberton, Richard Millhouse and Brian Paul Martin.

The panel intends to make the meetings open to the public and to ask for public input, Owen said.

Over the next nine months, the committee will examine forms of government other than the current three-supervisor format and make a recommendation to Millcreek voters for change or no change. Any recommendation for change would go on the November 2013 ballot.

In other business Tuesday, Millcreek supervisors formalized a rezoning request from Scott's Development Co. for property on West 12th Street that the developer wants to use for a future restaurant.

Part of the property at 2545 W. 12th St., near the Yorktown Centre, already was zoned for commercial use. The rest of the property was rezoned from light industrial to commercial.

The supervisors approved the zoning change Nov. 15, but Tuesday's vote came on an ordinance making the rezoning formal.

Scott's Development bought the land and a vacant building on the property for $300,000. It will demolish the building, the former local office of Cicogna Electric & Sign Co. Inc., and build a restaurant there.

Scott's Development hasn't decided what restaurant it will build. Development isn't expected until spring 2012, at the earliest.

Scott's Development is related to Scott Enterprises, which owns 11 restaurants in northwestern Pennsylvania.
